Rubber Bowl

This was the first show that I took my boys to. After it was over they were hooked.

Had a great time even though the show was marred by Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.

My very First show

I was 18 and really wanted to experience the dead's magic. I loved the whole show though Bob Dylan was a little bit of a let down because it was hard to hear. Trucking was worth the price of addmission.

 

This was the first Dead show

This was the first Dead show I worked at as a stagehand. I moved to Santa Cruz a year or so later and started working stage for Bill Graham Productions. Must have worked at about 100 shows over the next few years. I was in my 20's and really didn't appreciate what I was witnessing at the time. Looking back they were some of the most interesting days of my life and really was a long strange trip. Been living in Australia for the past 15 years and heard about Jerry on the radio, time stood still............
